We had a pretty fun opening morning!

This year was so much better than last year. Should have been done in less than an hour but let’s blame the choke on the shotgun

Very similar experience to 10mmg

A ton of collared running through near Royal City and Quincy areas

Limits both days on Mourning, a really fun time

Dove hunting in the rain for 9/1 was a first for me

I shot a limit on Sat, the 2nd near Othello.  All mourning doves, no eurasians.

Sharing with you my favorite recipe for dove preparation

Substitute boneless dove breast for the lamb

I did a week long road trip through Oregon, Idaho, and Washington. Easily saw hundreds of collard doves. Think I saw less than 20 mourning doves. My buddy in Ketchikan says they have even been getting collard doves up there

Thanks for all the reports, guys. My bro-in-law and I got the boys out for a couple hours on the afternoon of the opener and a couple hours the next morning. Not a ton of doves around but we scratched out 9 the first day and 8 the second. Lots of fun for the boys and the dads.

All mourning doves. And the bacon mango dove skewers my wife made when we got home were amazing. Huge hit with the kids.
